Advertise with Hedge Fund Insight

Readership by  Type and Country

Advertising is worthwhile if the advertiser can reach the right readership/viewership. Hedge Fund Insight is read by some hard-to-reach people in the hedge fund industry, most notably those who work in hedge fund management. 

By reader type, the readers have been drawn first from investors in hedge funds, and then from hedge fund managers.  Investors in hedge funds such as Endowments, Trust Banks and Funds of Funds are known to devote time to reading around their industry and sectors they follow. But hedge fund managers are very difficult to attract as readers, and amongst the most difficult are the CIOs and CEOs of hedge fund management companies. This site attracts those who run the businesses of hedge funds as well as those who direct the investments.
